Stuff: Things are really dead in San Antonio.

So, if visiting the Alamo seems overly reverent, Ripley's Haunted Adventure's front door is across the plaza. While the big budget, ever-open haunted house attraction goes for the regional appeal by referencing The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, I regret that they didn't capitalize on the specific location and have the angry corpses of Mexican soldiers attempting to eat us tourists. Or a zombie Bowie coming at our skulls with his famed knife. Seems like a wasted opportunity.

I was going to cop to the excuse that it was a business trip, but the honest truth is that I'm completely pissed at myself for focusing on the gig so much that blew the chance for a meet up. Totally stupid of me.

It's a walk-through with live actors, so that's a different beast altogether. Though I'd give it good marks. Especially since one imagines they're going for the family crowd, yet they keep it pleasantly gruesome.

No problem CRwM. I couldn't pass up giving you a hard time about it is all. San An is a good ways away from me but I would have tried if I had known you were in Texas to meet up. I hope you had a blast all the same!

About Me

I have no pets. I own several ties, but rarely have a reason to wear any of them. I sing in the shower but can never remember the words, so I make them up as I go along, and they always end up being songs about showering. I collect slang dictionaries.
